Families in over 90 Vermont towns enjoy full school choice today. They can send their children to places like St. Johnsbury Academy or Burr & Burton…. South Burlington High School or Stowe…. Any public or approved, non-religious independent school, in state or out, that best fits the needs of their child.
And these families are enjoying such great educational opportunities – more choices, better outcomes, even higher home values – for LESS COST TO THE VERMONT TAXPAYER on average than students in non choice districts.
Isn’t it time to give all Vermont kids the same opportunity to attend the school that’s right for them? Especially if we can give Vermont property taxpayers a break at the same time?

Bring the Case for School Choice to Your Community

In a nutshell, school choice has the power to lower education costs (and therefore lower property taxes), improve student outcomes, and increase equity in the Vermont education system.
